      His other option would be those ****ty console speaker packages from game shops. If you're buying a surround system you might as well use it to the fullest.

              How are we supposed to know when there is no description of what audio connections this set has and you still havent said what amp you are using? You cant just plug 5 speakers into a PS2, you connect your PS2 to an amp and then speakers to that amp.

                  no optical inputs on that so you couldnt really get decent pro logic sound, only through 2 rcas i guess

                    They look really good actually. Im thinking of picking those up myself now. How can i mount the rears though? - do they have brackets with them or something?

                    Also, can anyone tell me how long the speaker cable is? Cheers

                    p.s. sorry for hijacking the thread

                      Marmite - I don't know about this new model, but the old Sony HTK one that everyone used to recommend could take the little Acoustic Solutions speaker stands they sell in Argos, as a friend has some.

                      Personally, I just avoided the problem of speaker stands by buying floorstanders front and rear, but that's rather more expensive...

                        Yeah ive delved into all the more expensive options (kef eggs, 5005, Acoustic Energy Evo 3B etc) but having not had a surround sound system before im thinking this may well do the trick for me.

                            and you're sorted. It'll do everything you want. Just bought one for my sister.

                            inputs a-plenty and a good unit.

                            Then you just need to spend the rest of your money on a speaker set:

                            pop into richersounds and you're sorted.

                                Your xbox and PS2 output 5.1 sound via an optical cable. That doesn't have an optical input - therefore no surround sound for you....
                                YOU NEED:
                                Something that deals with DD5.1, DTS etc, has optical inputs and coaxial inputs, and doesn't cost ?50. Surround sound is expensive.
                                This will probably do it:
